The newer settlement runs through two northern side valleys and extends almost to the ridge in front of Lüdenscheid city center in the west.

history

The current name of the district, called Poppelse in the oldest available sources , goes back to either Poppils-hêm or Poppils-hûsen, settlement of the Poppil clan. Even in the event that the final syllable -heim, which otherwise rarely occurs in the Sauerland, is original, an Old Saxon settlement name is assumed. In the Middle Ages, a hydropower-operated corn mill was built on the Elspe in Pöppelsheim, whose income was due to the sovereigns, i.e. the Counts of the Mark . It had been leased to the von Neuhoff family at Schloss Neuenhof since the 15th century . For centuries Lüdenscheid was compulsory to eat. H. the requirement to grind grain exclusively in the Pöppelsheimer mill. The newer settlement, to which the place name was transferred, was built in 1960-62 in the municipality of Lüdenscheid-Land , Amt Lüdenscheid . The large proportion of people displaced from their homeland from the former German eastern regions among the settlers was characteristic. Together with most of the rural community, it was incorporated into the city of Lüdenscheid in 1969.

Settlement and infrastructure

The historic core of Pöppelsheim is in the Elspetal on the B 229 . All that has been preserved is the old mill building, which is now used by a restaurant. The so-called Red House, a tenant building owned by the Neuenhofer Gutsverwaltung, was demolished in the 1980s. The newer settlement consists of three streets with originally uniform single-family and semi-detached houses. At the branch of the Birkenweg from the Waldstraße there was a small center with a restaurant, a grocery store and a playground above. However, the facilities were closed. At the upper end of the Birkenweg there is the house of the Pöppelsheim settlers' association, adjacent to a fairground. Here the association organizes the birch festival every year , one of the traditional so-called " picnics " in Lüdenscheid.
